Char Lynn supports you in having the wedding of your dreams. Each couple is unique and deserves to have their wedding day be everything they envision. Your beliefs, style, and desires are honored and embraced. Char Lynn provides a ceremony that is truly based in Love, and can be customized, personalized and made your own. You are welcome to have music or readings by family or friends woven into the ceremony. She has written beautiful vows that accentuate the meaning of marriage and you may use these or write your own. Some people even prefer to write their own ceremony and Char Lynn is available to help you to truly personalize your words. Char Lynn's support goes beyond the co-creation of your ceremony and wedding day, she is available for relationship and spiritual coaching. Many couples choose to look at all aspects of their relationship before the wedding day and bring into alignment those aspects which may seem challenging. Char Lynn is inspirational, practical in her approach and offers an outside vantage point which is just what many people can use.

Your wedding day is meant to be a day of sharing love, joy, laughter, and celebration. Char Lynn has an ability to lighten and bring back joy where there is stress. She weaves laughter into the ceremony and you are encouraged to relax and enjoy yourselves. Your audience is woven into the words of the ceremony and asked, at one point, to silently offer you their blessings. You are filled with a love that encircles you, embodied by the nurturance of a professional and caring officiant.  

Char Lynn's spiritual beliefs, based in One Divine Creator and unconditional Love, create a foundation of support for your own personal beliefs. In the sacred rite of marriage one's beliefs about love, partnership, support and commitment become the cornerstones for the relationship. Marriage is a vessel for our consciousness to evolve. For when we are in right-relationship; one that supports the unfolding of our unique life purpose, we expand and become who we are meant to be. Char Lynn supports your coming together in love and your personal definition of your relationship.

Char Lynn will meet with you free of charge that you may connect and feel that she is the right officiant for your wedding day. Her fees include: the ceremonial wording, a memorabilia album of your ceremony with your names highlighted in your wedding colors, the rehearsal, the wedding day, and taking care of your wedding license; the signatures and the mailing. On your wedding day Char Lynn will show up an hour earlier than the ceremony to check in on you; offer warm, relaxing hugs (if you like), make sure all is going smoothly, and she meditates on the safe arrival of all your guests, the ceremony, the day itself and that Love presides over your wedding. This co-creation is the joy of her heart and soul, she has never been sick or missed a wedding day and honestly cannot imagine that.

Her Wedding Ceremony is deeply based in love, honoring the traditional stages of a wedding ceremony yet brought into the present day language and beliefs in unconditional Love. The ceremony begins with the procession; the choices you would make about the wedding party, who walks the bride down the aisle (many young brides choose both parents), and the inclusion of children and/or pets (they make great ring bearers when appropriate). Char Lynn has created a new parental honoring that acknowledges both the bride's and the groom's parents, and other significant people in their lives. The invocation deeply respects the diversity we find in today's religious and spiritual beliefs; all are included with respect. The address includes words honoring your friendship, your individuality, and the changes that come in sharing years together. You have choices throughout the ceremony especially with your vows, which Char Lynn believes is the foundation of your marriage. If there are young children within the relationship Char Lynn creates many places within  the ceremony for their inclusion: during the acknowledgment, the address, gifting the children after you have exchanged your rings. For when there are children you are creating more than a marriage, you are creating family. Within her album she presents to each couple for personalization is additions including: the Unity Candle ceremony, the Sand Ceremony, roses for the Mothers, guests acknowledgment of your vows, a ribbon ceremony inviting the guests to embody their blessings in a ribbon keepsake, and more. And in her album is pages of beautiful, meaningful poetry and readings you can incorporate into your ceremony, asking friends and family to have a special place in your ceremony. All this is yours to co-create. The greatest compliments Char Lynn has received has been from guests asking if the couple wrote the entire ceremony themselves. This speaks to the words spoken relating to the couple; their love and uniqueness.

The Ceremony becomes a Memorabilia Album as a keepsake for you always. Your names are woven throughout the album in your wedding colors. Each page is adorned with a corner design of your choice either from your invitations, your wedding theme, or from the many choices Char Lynn offers. She has created a beautiful Wedding Keepsake suitable for framing. Pages are included of your wedding party and any special additions that are apart from the ceremony itself. The album is suitable for adding photographs and other keepsakes you may choose.
